Question

Dear friends,
I’m writing this letter from England. My name is Alice Stewart. I am fourteen. I go to a very large school. It is a girls’ school. In our country there are a lot of schools where both girls and boys study. But there are some boys’ and some girls’ schools.
The teaching staff of our school is very large. We have a headmistress, a deputy head, about thirty teachers and eight hundred pupils. As it is a comprehensive school, there are not only academic subjects, but also accounting, typing, shorthand,, nursing and housekeeping. Girls between the ages of 11 to 18 attend our school.
We have classes five days a week, Monday to Friday. I get to school at 8.40. We have prayers at 8.50 and start our lessons at 9.30. We have five lessons in the morning: two before break and three after break. After lunch we have two more lessons. But on Mondays we have an extra hour to discuss our form matters with the form mistress. School usually ends at 3.40.
We learn thirteen subjects: English, French, German, Mathematics, History, Science, Geography, Needlework, Art, Drama, Physical training, Music and religious Instructions. Well enough about me. I’d love to hear about you.
Please write to me about your school: I’m very interested if the school in Ukraine differ greatly from our comprehensive school. Do boys and girls study together or in separate schools? What is your school day like? What is the difference?
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon. Yours,
Alice
